I have three daughters, who, once upon a time, were wee little things, and we (Mrs Maurcheen agus mé féin) used to spend into the early hours of Christmas morning wrapping their presents when we knew they were sound asleep.
They are 21, 19 & 15 now. And we still do the same thing.
This year the two older ones had a drink with us after dinner this evening, a sure sign Ma & Da are getting old!
I was going to record a lovely Christmas song for ye but I have been laid low, struck down as it were, had the rug pulled from under me, been cursed with an affliction worse than the worst of afflictions for a singer. I have a head cold and my singing voice is not at it's best, so I will not be singing for you. I know....,, tears and sobs all over the known world....so instead I offer you a video of my Christmas dancing skills as produced by one of my PR team. Thank you dear hope.
I have made many dear friends here in Blogland, and it is my deep honour to know you one and all. I would especially like to thank my Taller Pal for being the giant upon whose shoulders this wee singing fella has stood for many a year.
Nollaig Shona daoibh mo chairde go léir.
A very merry Christmas to each and every one of you. (From Atheist Maurcheen)

Sorry you're not feeling well my friend. I hope Santa brings you an adult beverage that can cure that...I'm sure the Chef has a few suggestions. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your dance. I found out too late it was a limited time only so by the beginning of the year it will probably fade away. Until then, you're one cool elf. x
Thank you my dear friend, you made all the family laugh! I am feeling so much better, thank you for the love and a happy new year to you, himself & Bou! :¬)

You can make all kinds of quips about tears and sobs but it's true. I would have liked hear you sing. Hope you're feeling better. A Merry Christmas to you, your lovely bride, 21, 19 and 15. Happy New Year, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend, feeling better, and now that the silly season is over I have lots of time to get back recording again. A very happy new year to you, Mrs. Wife & them beautiful daughters. I hope they will bless you both with all the happiness that my three have given me. :¬)
DeleteFrom your family in Glasgow, to our loyal brother and his loving family, Annette, the girls and of course, Ma, every day in your company has been a pleasure. Long may it continue. For those beloved, much missed family members that left this life far too early, you are forever in our hearts and thoughts. Until we meet again. Adieu.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest of brothers, my tallest of pals, my best friend, thank you for being you. Please give that lovely Siobhán a great big kiss from me, and many hugs to your weans & grand weans. Happy Hogmanay my pal, I raise a glass of the best to my Glasgow family the neet!
DeleteA warm and Merry Christmas to you and all your girls, Maurcheen. I also wish for a speedy recovery from your head cold. I have the same affliction. :-( No fun when there are so many people to see. But at least I have a voice and no cough. And the painful sinuses have settled a bit.
ReplyDeleteNo matter that your elf video may fade away. You will always be the Greatest dancing Elf I know!! I could totally see you doing that. ;-)

My dear Pon, I wish you & Maart a very happy NY and a very happy future! Love you! :¬)
